I take no stance between Li and Chen!
I support all ethnic Chinese players!

Congrats! Good to see progress in such a short time!

P.S. Bro I know women synchronized swimming is your favourite, mine too!

 

[Bussard Ramjet]

R u retarded or just misunderstood my post?

Maintain civilized language.

I said, they have made huge progress.

I don't know what you mean by this. But usually it would be taken as progress from the last time in Olympics.

This is the medal table from London.

The only "progress" as I understand the word "progress" has been that instead of 1 silver, and 1 bronze; China won 2 silvers. For me that is not huge.

Again, I don't know what you mean by progress, but that is the way most people will understand it.

O yeah, this sport reflects not only their skills but also their pursuit of aesthetics!
I wouldn't miss any of their performances, both dual and team.

@Bussard Ramjet If you have no intention to contribute to this thread, pls leave it and go to your indian rio thread.

The liberal media in the west as well as in China has been paddling now for some time that Gold Medals don't mean much etc etc. etc.

I hope you don't fall into their propaganda, and lose total sight of Olympics.

They have been propagating against Chinese sports for some time. There are horrible images doing rounds on the Internet that show young kids crying and being beaten during training in gymnastics.

West propagating against China, come on, of course they do, is that even news? It would be if otherwise. It's their media, never mind.

Gold & Bronze
Such a race!
Liu Hong did not risk being the leader,
instead, she closely followed the Latino until the last 30m!!!

 

[Three_Kingdoms]

I would have thought we could get 1,2,3 gold silver and bronze during the last few km
But Gonzales of Mexico was also very strong She was leading the "peloton" about half the way until Liu Hong accelerated in the last 30 meters or so from the finishing line to overtake Gonzales
Yeah what a race High drama until the end

Our athlete from Tibet Qiyang Shijie came 5th in the race walk She will have a great chance of winning a medal 4 years later together with our silver medalist, Lu Xiuzhi and also for Liu to retain her title at 33 years old. Qiyang is 25 and Lu is 22 now

Congratulations to our Men and Women race walk teams
scoring 2 Golds, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze for China

And

Congratulations to our Men's Double Badminton, Fu and Zhang came from behind beating the Malaysian pair 2-1 for the Gold

and:

A silver and a bronze in Women's Boxing

Congrats

A reasonable harvest of medals today despite the heartbreaking loss of SuperDan to arch-rilval Lee Chongwei
Lin Dan played poorly in the second set which let Lee recover and rebuild his poise
Congrats Lee Chongwei for this match BUT definitely
Chen Long for GOLD in the Men's Single Final tomorrow

Go China

In the women's single semi-final yesterday, Li Xuerui suffered a bad injury Later reports said she is giving up the bronze medal match She needs a surgery for the ruptured cruciate ligament
Wish Xuerui a speedy recovery

A big congrats to our women's volleyball team What a marvellous display of guts perseverance courage excellent coaching and ball skills Now all up for the Gold girls The whole nation and all Chinese are behind you

When the m 4*100 m relay race? We may be on top 5, or medal, heaven bless.

If we have a bit of luck I hope we can get a bronze

Women's 20 km race walk Liu Hong (L) gold medalist and compatriot Lu Xiuzhi took a bronze


China's Liu Hong won women's 20km walk final on Friday, fending off Mexico’s Maria Guadalupe Gonzalez in a thrilling final kilometer dash to the finish line to snatch gold.

World champion Liu was touted as the hot favorite heading into the Rio Games and she lived up to the billing, powering away from Gonzalez as the finish line came into sight to win in 1:28:35.

Gonzalez entered the final kilometer in the lead but she was powerless to stop Liu's late onslaught on a hot and humid day, crossing the line 0.02 seconds behind the 29-year-old world record holder.

"It was hard because the weather wasn't that good. The only thing I could do was keep going, do my best and try to make it perfect," Liu told reporters.

"(Winning gold) means a lot to me. I have been doing this sport for more than 10 years now."

Gonzalez's victory made her only the second woman ever to win a medal in athletics for Mexico and brought the Latin American nation its first medal at the Rio Games.

China's Lu Xiuzhi, who won silver at last year's world championships, had to settle for bronze.

Russia's London Games Olympic champion Elena Lashmanova, who was handed a two-year doping ban in 2014, did not defend her crown in Rio, where the entire Russian team athletics was prevented from competing due to doping concerns.
